We can keep the bases, just bring the troops home! Pay the same amout of GDP as the lowest paying member! Pull the Troops and money!
Trump can’t end our ties with NATO, Biden made sure of that, but….
As Commander and Chief, he can reallocate aegis missile system, nuclear rockets, submarines, naval ships, all aircraft, stockpile of ammo and firearms,
satellites and communication gear.
Leave 250 troops in each base, satisfying NATO. Remove buildings, airstrips, naval ports that is ours.
Save 1.2 trillion@year. Help bring down national debt to below 12.8 Trillion and in ten years would erase national debt.
We mustn’t leave until we get the 900 lbs of enriched uranium before they can launch a dirty bomb on Europe or other allies. They’ve shown they can reach 80% of NATO.
GOD BLESS THE USA
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
NATO is clearly a failure. We can take that money we have been using to defend Europe and spend it on Americans
NATO won’t help.Why? Woke leadership.
If we pulled all our resources out of NATO are weapons are personnel or equipment pull our intelligence in the 70% of the budget we could create our own NATO in our own hemisphere we can still have alliances with Japan and South Korea and we can build an alliance with the Middle Eastern countries they have more backbone than Europe so we don't really need to be in Europe you know who benefits from nato in Europe not the United States not if we don't can't use the airspace not if we can't use the bases that we pay for I don't care if I ran starts launching missiles into the capitals of Europe right now I don't care if Russia goes straight to Ukraine I don't care because you know what didn't they say this wasn't their war piss on Europe
Their communist anyway let russa have them.
That's the old world order that world is is gone why should we protect Europe till Infinity that's just ridiculous there's other strategic places around the globe that we can build our alliances with does not have to be in Europe
Europeans tried to ICE Trump out and threw insult and jokes since 2016. Europe thought they would wait for a new liberal president. Europe didn’t count on the American people despising them for their behavior. Then they want to say it was Trump being rude to them. Leave Europe to Russia. No America taxpayer money to Europe. No American military for the defense of Europe.
PLEASE NATO, step in with an interim government.
Get rid of the old man for us please!
Gas is only 315 a gallon in my state just look at the jobs market it came out the economy is doing great these people put shade on things when there's not shade there these morons can't figure it out a nuclear Iran is a threat to the whole world
That would be a waste of time. Get trump out. He is evil and stupid
The world is moving on without the US. And they are going to stop using the dollar for buying oil. Good riddance America, nobody likes Nazis or maga
We’ve known nato doesn’t care about us. You’ll learn been stealing from USA for decades. You guys suck as friends
This channel is trumpy
no mention by such numbnuts like this of backstabbing, burden bearing, lack of will to thrive as westerners..
This guy talks and talks about all the American benefits to being in NATO but he never mentions the fact that we have to pay more than anyone else to get those miniscule benefits that he thinks so much of. There is something to be said for considering leaving NATO finally since Europe isn't really any kind of partner to us and proved it here
I disagree. NATO is not vital to American security. America is vital to NATO security.
And you believe a Satan worshipper
No America is important to nato not the other way around . Because if we pull out of Europe there safety is in question and there economy takes a hit without the service members spending there paychecks on the local economy all those little businesses fail bars, restaurants, clothing, electronics, and those who are employed by our government those who work on the basese are looking for work
Trump didn't start that War it's in the Bible. God said that War was going to happen. Some of y'all need to tell God y'all don't like what he wrote in the Bible
That's a big fat no
Blowhard Orange Adolf, if still alive after a Bernie's-style weekend at Walter Reed, will change his tune! Pawpaw's fresh venopuncture bruise will remind him how vulnerable & exposed he is NOW. 🤨
U worry about ur own security
WELCOME TO THE OLD REPUBLICAN PARTY NOW UNDER NEW MAGA-MOSCOW
MANAGEMENT. Owned & Operated by Vladimir Putin and Dong Jong 2.
NO MORE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS MONEY FOR NATO…..🤬
Don shut the F*CK up ass. We are sick of your lying Daily. You don't represent anything I stand For Ass*ole.
Disagree with analysis of guest.
Goodbye NATO. All they do is drain money from our Treasury. Totally useless as an organization.
But we fund the vast majority of NATO. We should stay in NATO, but fund not one cent more than 1/32 of NATO’s total budget.
Talking shit about Trump😂 . Such weak sauce.
LEAVE NATO
LEAVE NATO
AMERICANS WANT TO LEAVE NATO.
NATO isn't a value to the US.
NATO HAS NEVER BEEN FOR THE US.
It's always been FOR THE EU.
Fking havard losers..🙄👌 dude doesn't know what he is talking about.
Genius thinks if his "allies" are Russia, China and North Korea, they will have our best interests at heart. His Pestilence should heed the words of my late mom……"No cagues donde comes". Google can translate it.
NATO can pound sand 😂they're toast. Better get Rosetta Stne or Babbel, you're going to need it!
why, let amerikkka stand alone, they say they don't need anyone. Beside nato is to defend nato nations when attacked, not when nato nations start illegal wars. The public is on iran's side, for the first time, thanks magas, and t*
NATO is irrelevant and has been nothing but a financial drain on the United States. I am glad they have shown their true colors of allegiance.
Ivo Daalder sounds like a democrat. Does NATO benefit America? Yes, but at what cost? Would it benefit me to buy a new 2026 truck? Yes, but I can’t afford it. We can’t afford to keep funding NATO. 32 countries in NATO, we should fund at the maximum 1/32 of NATO’s total budget.
The US needs to leave NATO end of story. Invoke article 13 then both the Americans who are more isolationist in thought and the vast majority of Europeans will be happy.
War started by US, on the verge of Iranian nucs? Iran for 47 years has screamed " death to America", this guy has a very selective memory. Along with a miniscule amount of common sense.
They denied us airspace over our own bases. Germany decides to get natural gas energy from Russia. We told these countries we do not need any boots on ground, nor do we need any arms from them. Yet big fat no. Pull out of NATO now and use money saved to upgrade the VA hospitals and help with veterans with homelessness and suicide prevention. But most Americans on left will say no stay. What a joke that will be.
US could spilt Iran into half dosen pieces. Between Pakistan and neighbors to the North and northwest, all of which have generational grievances.
With drawal from nato and un. Bs u fkn liar. Only thing u ppl want is for usa to pay but fk usa when needed. Get out trump fk the6
He needs to listen to his constituents
Europe has been freeloading for long enough, pony up or shut up.
Here, Robert said massive class of illegal citizens. This class is not and was not supposed to be listed as massive. At the time the 14th amendment was written that so called class wasn't on any list as our past government would not allowed this massive class to exist in the first place. And why the separation in the statement as to how many, it should not matter as to a few on a ship against millions of illegals that are not suppose to be here to start with.
Nope! No coming back from this for the compilation of failed kingdoms and empires.
It doesn’t benefit Americans. Europe has been a powder keg forever two world wars started in Europe. Why should we get involved? They don’t really want us there. They’re only one us there for their protection. It doesn’t benefit America. How’s American projecting Power if they don’t even allow them to use their airspace or basis I say get out of NATO.
This guy sounds like he's playing for the wrong team
This guy is a cuck clown
You are whistling past the graveyard. Get ready to be dumped.
I totally disagree with MR. Daadler argument. We don't need NATO. NATO was created to provide for the collective defense against any future Russian (Soviet) aggression in Europe. One could argue that NATO's ability to stop and further Russian aggression, would prevent the U.S. from being dragged into another World War in Europe.
For those who never serve in the military, particularly the U.S. Army, the European defense plan depended heavily on the airlifting of Army divisions in as quickly as our early warning systems could see movement of Soviet Block Armies advancing toward then, West Germany. The defense plan could never depend on the ability of French Forces rushing to meet the enemy, nor any significant British Forces moving across the channel. Don't get me wrong the British had a military presence in then Western Germany. However you must keep in mind that presence depended on how many Soldiers they could count on from Ireland, Scotland and Whales (that is why they call it the United Kingdom).
So please tell me how it is that we need to be a partner of NATO????????
